Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The Kings Head receives rave reviews for its exceptional carvery on Sundays, praised for tender meats and generous portions accompanied by perfectly crisp roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. Diners love the extensive menu, boasting impressive vegetarian options and classic British pub fare. The vibrant atmosphere created by live music performances adds a special flair, making a visit more than just a meal. Friendly and efficient staff often receive accolades, contributing to the overall positive dining experience. Many patrons appreciate the cozy setting, perfect for gathering with friends or family.

Most Disliked

While The Kings Head delights many, some guests have noted occasional issues with the temperature inside during peak times, particularly in warmer weather. Reports indicate that some windows remain shut due to maintenance issues, leading to a hot dining environment. A few patrons mention busy nights can feel cramped, especially during the buzz of Friday dinners. Though generally well-received, a limited selection of desserts has been a point of feedback, with some wishing for more innovative sweet options on the menu. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience remains largely positive.

Fantastic service, amazing food, great atmosphere. Just a shame our window wouldn't open (apparently key was lost many years ago). Room was very hot

Have eaten here many times and always enjoyed our food, but had our first carvery today. Hands down the best carvery we've had, anywhere. Good choice of meats, huge yorkies, crispy roast potatoes and parsnips, and a great choice of sides. And to top it off , it was really good value. So impressed!

Very impressed 👌 Good Carvery, wonderfull staff. Despite a relativity small carvery, they've got it very well organised that they're able to serve everyone with barely any wait times. (We visited at 1pm on a Sunday in August with glorious weather outside) I Highly recommend this place.
